Kamehameha Schools

Employees who work hard and dedicate themselves to the school, suffer criticism, are considered an outcast, and soon sent to the door. 

Princess Pauahi Bishop would be, and maybe is saddened, that her good deed turned into a monopoly over power and money. There is no genuine care for employees, much of whom are under-paid, those who spend time gossiping and wasting company monies are honored. Students are not receiving the highest level of education for a private school. Don't be fooled. It is not the same. Have you seen Kamehameha students from the Hawaii campus? Disgraceful.

Nothing changed through the reorganization 20 years ago. There is absolutely no fairness and even aloha for employees. Employees run that school into a disgrace. 

Gossiping is very bad and the way you can be targeted if they don't like you. Take a look at the high rate of vacancies the schools have in Keaau. Very political. I would not recommend anyone to work there or even send your kids there. You will be sadly disappointed. Working here is like living in prison. Don't let the fake smiles fool you, because those are the ones gaining all the rewards. The real workers, educated workers, are bullied and picked on constantly.

There is no teaching of Hawaiian values and morals. Why? Because the adults there can't even do it. You would think an organization like this would be different. Full of love and not tolerate idle gossip. It is, instead filled with people who maneuvered their way into a job who care nothing for the Hawaiian people. 

Think twice before deciding to work in this environment,  or subject your child to such torture of no support, no extra help, made fun of in front of others, and the list goes on.

I don't think this school can recover. If you see the highest decrease in enrollment and continuous vacancies....think why this is. It is not a place of love, christianity, and nurturing.......

We Hawaiians did better without this fake school.

The culture here is very odd. They are very partial to Polynesians and it is commonplace to put down those who are not of the appropriate heritage. Obligatory professional development situations try to brainwash employees that Polynesians are better than all other races of people. It is interesting to learn about native Hawaiian culture and to learn about the language but it is uncomfortable to be told that you are not as good as them or that you cannot be promoted due to your own heritage. It is also an unhealthy environment for the children of the school to be taught this way. And unhealthy for the adults who work there to buy into. I do not recommend this environment. If you are Polynesian I think the culture here is odd and unhealthy. If you are not I think it is hurtful to work in this environment. I agree that the founders would not be pleased with the irresponsible teachings and behaviors here.

I worked for the Summer with children that ranged from the ages 4-5.  A typical day at work would be supervising the children playing in the morning, then I would take them to pool and help them swim for 40 minutes at a time.  I learned to have a lot of patience during this job.  We would rotate the children throughout the day between the different activities. The management I worked for was amazing and very energetic. My coworkers were other students that either graduated from Kamehameha or currently in school.  Everyone I worked with were great and were very helpful.  The hardest part of the job was trying to gain the trust of the non experience swimmers.  I would usually have the group that didn't really know how to swim.  This was also the most enjoyable part of the job.  It was a great feelings to see them progress, learn and even jump towards me with full confidence.  I enjoyed helping the children learn the basics of swimming and it was great to see their excitement grow throughout the summer.

Large Private Education Institution that provided generous opportunities to  keep the education of the students in the limelight.  We had Boarding students from the outer Islands and that  added to the wholesome atmosphere of the campus.  

In the Tennis Camp experience, I grew tremendously from having the opportunity to be part of the management of a boarding summer camp working with a staff of fifty people and young college students.

I retired from the Navy, two years active and 28 years in thereserves and rose to the rate of Master Chief.  This opportunity eposed me the the many facets of the military and civilian community.

I especially enjoyed helping the students become succesful in their required curriculum and working with very qualifed staff

Pros – School to educate Hawaiian children. $9.4 Billion asset to fund schools. Involved in local community to educate Hawaiian culture
Cons – corrupt management and trustees. Trustees wants 10 year term being paid over $90,000. What do they exactly do? If Princess Bernice only knew of this corruption in the schools.
i agree with one of the reviewer that this school only hire former students and cronies. You will be interviewed but they will just waste your time. Don't bother to apply if you are not related to this school.
Advice to Senior Management – replace the corrupt management and cronies trustees and replace them with honest people.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

I worked at this preschool for a period of time, and overall, my experience was okay. There were definitely some positives — a few of the staff members were genuinely kind, helpful, and made the work environment more pleasant. Their dedication to the kids really stood out, and I appreciated the sense of community from those individuals.
That said, not everyone shared that same attitude. Some coworkers were a bit rude, which made certain days more challenging than they needed to be. I also felt like the management could be stronger. With better leadership and organization, I think the preschool could run much more smoothly and create a more positive experience for both staff and children.
It's not a bad place to work, but there's definitely room for improvement

A typical day for me would begin arriving at school by 7:30. That gives me 15 minutes to get settled in my classroom and prep anything for that morning. Then class, then class, then lunch and afternoon activities. I was out by 3:30 everyday. The resources and facilities that they have at the campus truly impacts the experience for the teacher as well as for the student. I am thankful for the resources I was able to utilize as a teacher there. The most enjoyable part was getting to create and nurture a relationship with these kids. They are the best part about the job.

A typical day for me is teaching Hawaiian choral music to students in grades 9-12. The staff prepares the students for an annual song contest competition that usually takes place in March. The students have two months or so to memorize their music. I also help out with any office tasks that the music director may need for the day. The most enjoyable part of the job is doing what you love. I absolutely love being able to teach and share with the students the importance of knowing who they are and where they come from as Hawaiians. It's fun to see the students face light up when they make that connection.

Working as a Lifeguard for Kamehameha Schools can be a very rewarding experience. Some days you get to accompany groups of students of all ages to various locations around the island. Most days are spent at the Olympic size swimming pool located on the campus where students K-12 supervised by teachers come and swim. The management and co-workers for the most part are very friendly and helpful, you can come to them with any questions or concerns.
